One of the most damaging conditions for
sensitive electronic assemblies such as computers and audio equipment is
excessive vibration and occasional shock. To allow electronic assemblies
to be mounted and used on mobile equipment, these Isolation Mounts were
developed for Electronic Assemblies or
anything that needs to be protected from vibration. They were
designed and built to 'cushion' computers, bar-code scanners and
radios on Industrial 'Lift Trucks' for use with an RFID warehouse
application. This project has been discontinued, and most of these mounts
were never deployed. I am listing them as used, however, because most have been mounted. Some may need to be
cleaned, as they were stored in a dusty warehouse (paper storage).

I do not have the manufacturer's name for
these mounts, but they are likely 'generic' Aeroflex or Enidine.
This project was big enough that many parts were produced as OEM
specifically for this application. They compare with the Aeroflex
C6 (3/16" cable) models, but have fewer coils than standard to create
a 'softer' mount. Industrial 'Lift' or 'Fork' trucks are extremely solid
and rigid, and transmit shock easily; these mounts have to be very good to
accomplish this protection. These Mounts use 3/16" Stainless Steel
"Wire Rope" (Cable) to isolate the two independent
"rails" of the mount from one another.
These mounts have the 'reverse
helical' design that is considered best for protecting from
vibration in all directions. 'Cheaper' mounts will have the wire rope
all wound in the same direction, and require you to use two or more mounts
to achieve 360 degree protection. These mounts individually
incorporate both directions of spiral to accomplish this, as an oppositional axis
configuration to prevent all shock/vibration from being transmitted to a
particular horizontal plane. You can see this in the pictures, as the
coils at each end of the mount are directionally opposed, or wound in
opposite directions.

These mounts are 5" in length, with Center-to-Center
on the mounting holes being 4.5". They stand approximately 1.5"
high and, with the coils (3/16" cable), are approximately 2"
deep (front to back). They were designed for electronics assemblies in the
5-15# range.
These mounts are attached to equipment and assemblies
using bolts or screws. The mounts themselves have internal threads that
are very close to 1/4"-20, but are not an exact fit (probably
metric). I have a number of the required screws (both hex-head and
'countersunk'), and will include four (4)
screws per mount as long as they are available.
Some of these mounts are NEW (Unused), some
are (slightly) USED (have been mounted), and all are subject to need
cleaning, as they have been in storage in a dusty area. I will 'pick'
these in the order in which they are sold (newer/cleaner will go
first). |
